No need to scramble from storms

But the heat could make you scrap your outdoor plans

.

We are feeling the blistering heat today as storms disappear locking us under a dry and unrelenting hot airmass.

The Westside already reached 97 at 3 pm and could break 100.

Today is slightly hotter than Saturday because the sea breeze is weaker. Hot westerly flow will cook us into the upper 90s. Even the beach will feel uncomfortable reaching the mid 90s.

Don’t count on rain to cool you down.

These slightly hotter conditions stem from even more dry air compared to yesterday, although we are not under another heat advisory due to the lower humidity.

Monday will see a return to late afternoon storms that track back to the coast targeting coastal areas by the evening in southwesterly winds. Rain potential climbs to 40% and the heat stays intense in the mid to upper 90s.

Summer storms will develop each afternoon next week with a slight lowering in afternoon temps to the lower 90s.
